Master Jingkong looked at him, motionless, silent.
"This temper..." Emperor Quan touched his forehead and then laughed teasingly, "Alright, I'll tell you."
Master Jingkong stood quietly, waiting for his answer.
Emperor Quan's eyes were profoundly fixed on him as he said in a deep and measured tone, "You know Dragon Head, right? The local snake. I caught him and his old flame. With just a little trickery, he confessed everything. Oh, right. That little stratagem was taught to me by Zhan Xiaoyao. She's very smart."
With no change in expression, Master Jingkong thought for a moment and then shook his head at him.
"You're lying!"
"...Do I need to?!"
"Dragon Head couldn't possibly know. No one knows about this matter."
